Description
A hands-on engineering activity where students work in small teams to design a bungee system that lets a raw egg drop from about 5 feet and stop just above the ground without breaking, using materials like rubber bands or string. The teams first test with a weighted “fake egg,” then evaluate, redesign, and try again, learning concepts like energy, gravity, and elasticity through the engineering design process. The activity is designed for grades K-8, typically taking about 1-2 hours depending on how many testing and redesign cycles are included.
